Operation Christmas drop

LI: To write a summary of the story behind the Operation Christmas Drop in your own words. 

For the last 68 years the men and women of the US air force who are based at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam have been using a pilot training drill to drop much needed supplies to the people who live on the 60 remote islands that surround Guam. In my opinion I think the idea of Operation Christmas Drop is good because it brings the community together and makes people happy, it also leaves the negative thing in the past.

Provocation: Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?

 LI: To identify and consider the two perspectives of this provocation to help me form an opinion.

A provocation is an action or speech that triggers strong feelings about a topic. Today we considered both sides of the provocation, ‘Should masks be compulsory on NZ public transport?’ We then used that infomration to help us form an opinion that we could justify with evidence. I think that we should make masks compulsory because we are still in a time where we find traces of Covid19: A virus that spreads easily.

L.I: Is to have a clear understanding on what happened in the war.     

                       

This week for reading we were learning about the famous war that happened in Crimean. This DLO represents the story behind the war and facts about it. We had to work in groups of 3 which then could make us feel more confident when making this and give feedback to each other. The thing that we really liked about this task is how we got to find out interesting things about the war and the people in it. 60 This DLO can give other people a clear picture on what happened, where it happened and more.

Law of inertia

L.I: To create a DLO that explains the law of inertia.

Science is really interesting, for science we were learning about the law of motion and who created it. The person who created law of motion is a man named Isaac Newton, he was a man who discovered it and explained what it meant. The law inertia means if an object stays in rest or stays at a constant speed this motion will keep on going until unless some type of pull of force stops the object or moves it. The thing that I really liked about this task is how we got to work in groups and share our own ideas to each other and get feedback.

MRSCGREN

       L.I: To understand the meaning behind the acronym MRSCGREN

                         

Our body's has a lot of qualities and different features. This week we were learning about the qualities of different living things which is MRS C GREN. This means Movement, Respiration, sensitivity, cell, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrients. We had to explain the meaning of these different words and explain how the process works with living things. The thing that I liked about this task was how I got work in a group with my friends instead of explaining all those words.

Its cool to be ME!

L.I: To identify my own qualities.

This week for term 3 week 8 I created a DLO that tells me different qualities about me. The thing that I talked about in this DLO was my friends, who i wish i would be and ect. The thing that I really thought about was the qualities i look for in a friend. I really thought hard about it and took me a really long time but got there at the end. the thing that really like about this task is how I got to talk about my favorite food which was subway cookies and a bento bowl.

Physics - Albert Einstein

L.I: Is to Create a DLO that talks about a famous physicist 

This week for reading we started on finding information about a famous physicist. The person that i chose to talk about is Albert Einstein and how he was famous for the theory of relativity which is one of the two pillars of modern physics. The thing that I liked about this task is that I got to learn more about Elbert Einstein and the things he discovered.

Natural disaster

L.I: Is to show 3 steps that could help in a natural disaster

As schools shut down for level 3 lockdown, we started to get ready for our learning. during distant learning, we had been given a task to do with natural disasters that could occur around the globe. I have made a poster representing the three steps you could do encase of an earthquake. These steps can help you on what to do before an earthquake, during an earthquake and after an earthquake. The thing that I liked about this task is how I got to find things to help people that might have troubles during an earthquake and not knowing what to do.

Summary about Science

LI: to find the most vital ideas from the information to help us answer the question “What is science?”.

This DLO is identifying the ideas of science which we have learnt from the information we have gained. To find the vital information, we negotiated by collaborating and communicating with our team. We shared our opinions and ideas, we took notes and from them we selected and rejected information to get to our final conclusion.

For us the 3 main vital ideas are:
Science is the discovery of What, Why, and How events happen
The three main branches of science are Physics, Chemistry, and Biology
There are two main categories of science, and they are Basic and Applied Science.

Main Ideas

LI: to summarise the information.

This DLO is highlighting our summary about what we know about science. In our groups, we have been sharing our ideas on posted notes and found the key words which we then wrote a summary about what science is. To then create a summary about the topic. We needed to skim and scan for key vocabulary to create this DLO. We also had to join our ideas together to create a more efficient idea.

We used our new question dice to help us construct some questions we want to find more about. The three questions we made using the dices were:

When did science start?

How will science progress in the future?

Who was the first scientist?

NZ Histor Timeline

LI: To read the information in the text, think about what you have read and form an opinion.

                       
NZ has a lot of history from the treaty of waitangi to corona virus . This week for reading we started on making a timeline about NZ history. All the information that we gathered I never knew about NZ. The thing that I liked about this reading task is that we got to do this with our group meaning we had the same level of skill in reading and will have the same understanding of the topic.

Tragedy at Tangiwai

L.I: Is to Understand the story about the Tragedy At Tangiwai.

A book which was about New Zealand was so neat I learnt a lot about it. The things that I learnt about this story (Tragedy at Tangiwai) is that there was a big disaster there. As Christmas eve was arriving there was a horrible crash that happened and a lot of people survived and also some passed. This train was heading to Auckland from Wellington. But a man named Cyril Ellis was so brave and did his best to save as many people as possible with the help of William Inglils.

International News 2020

The world is so fascinating, going around the world you can see so much things. So with my smart research I had to find out different places in the world telling us different things for and example reference to someone important, impact, emotions and more. I found out a lot of things that i never knew about which was so interesting because I got to know about the world.

Sky Tower

                    
This week for our home learning we used our researching and creative thinking to do this task. We started on finding 5 interesting facts about the tower. Then we had a task on making a new mascot for the sky tower so we combined our knowledge together to make our own. After that we chose a place in the sky tower that is exiting so we chose the bungy jump. We chose this one because it could be a fascinating thing to talk about on.

Rainbows End

                       

This week for my online schooling I worked on a really fun place named Rainbows End. This place has a lot of fun and scary rides. When I first went to Rainbows End I went into the kingdom and I had a blast. So this DLO tells you about the location and the reason we have height restrictions and the price of a family pass.

Shared word bank

This week for reading we were working on our shared work bank. This task explained words about the kupe and Captain james cook voyage. This was a collaborative task where we had to work in our reading groups. The word that we had  to explain was navigate since it was the most important word in the story.

Past and Present

This week for reading we were learning about kupe and captain cook. This was a collaborative task which we had to work in our reading groups. For this we had to figure out the problems that occurred to Kupe and Cooks voyage to Aotearoa. The one thing that I liked about this challenge was that we all had the same idea so we all thought the same thing and how we all took turns sharing our ideas on what we think the problems were about Kupe and Cooks voyage.

Kupe V Captain Cook

This week for reading we learnt compared kupe and captain cook to see what was different about them and what the same is about them. This was a very fun task because we got to work in our reading which got us to know each other more.

National Current Events

Today we were learning about current events. We used multiple sites to find information based on national news. Working in groups of 4 - 6 we created a google map site plotting the areas that have been affected or something has been going on there.

William Shakespeare

                       

For reading we learnt about the famous William Shakespeare. William Shakespeare is a famous poetry, he made over 200 poems made by him the one thing that is interesting about him is that he was really small meaning he had a small door.
